Renovation
Renovation
The Renovation design department of Mitsubishi Jisho Design (then Mitsubishi Estate) was established in 1995, ahead of other companies.
We make the most of the wealth of experience and know-how we have accumulated, combining a diverse menu of Renovation options to improve the performance of buildings and maintain and improve their value in line with the times, and propose optimal solutions for each client and each case.
We will introduce a wide range of design, Construction Supervision, consulting, and other services.
01 Building inspection and diagnosis
If you think it's time Renovation
Once a building is constructed, it gradually and steadily deteriorates.
To continue to make effective use of these structures in the future, it is important to accurately grasp their current state (deterioration status) and take appropriate action.
When we inspect and diagnose buildings, in addition to conducting an on-site inspection, we comprehensively analyze documents such as completion drawings, repair history, and defect status to identify areas of deterioration, determine the level of deterioration (urgency of repair), and calculate the repair costs.
Based on this, we create a "Building Inspection Report" that is easy to understand not only for experts but also for clients.
02 Long-term repair planning
How much will this cost?
Each component of the building needs proper renewal.
We will create a timeline of the items, costs, and timing of future required updates, and create a "long-term repair plan" that will be effective in managing the planned operating costs of the building.
In today's building management, strategic tools such as "understanding life cycle costs (LCC)," "forecasting building income and expenditure," and "hedging risks through regular maintenance" are indispensable. All Mitsubishi Estate Estate office buildings are maintained and operated based on long-term repair plans that we have created.
Renovation (preventive maintenance and value-up)
Improving values to survive
We offer a variety of proposals to address the deterioration of buildings and the loss of value that comes with age.
Of course, in addition to physical deterioration, we also do not overlook the obsolescence of a wide range of performance due to the increasing sophistication of social demands, such as changes in legal systems, consideration for the global environment, energy conservation measures, improved performance of various building materials and equipment due to technological innovation, and changes in design as the times change.
When planning Renovation, we carefully consider site surveys, planning, construction cost estimates, construction schedules, etc. Appropriate Renovation not only prevents accidents and breakdowns, but also reduces the costs and energy losses that result from them, thereby reducing life cycle costs.
- Adapting to changing times
- Improving the image of the building
- Improve business balance
- Improved functionality and comfort
- Increased resident satisfaction
- Increase in asset value
- Ensuring safety
- Improve competitiveness and profitability

04 Earthquake resistance diagnosis, earthquake resistance renovation, deterioration diagnosis
Prepare for an earthquake
Our seismic assessments include five stages of assessment, ranging from simple preliminary assessments to advanced, precise assessments, as required.
If the diagnosis indicates that renovation is necessary, we will develop a realistic renovation plan that meets the client's needs, taking into account earthquake resistance, renovation costs, and usability after renovation.
Seismic retrofitting is the type of Renovation work that requires the most consideration, not only in terms of structural analysis skills, but also in terms of aesthetics, ease of use, noise and dust generation, etc. We will tackle this project with the most optimal method, taking advantage of our experience and know-how in seismic diagnosis and seismic retrofitting of over 1,000 buildings.
05 Conversion (change of use)
Increase the value of buildings
Today, there is a need to shift from scrap-and-build to a stock utilization, circular economy.
As demand becomes increasingly polarized based on location, age, size, etc., attention is being paid to converting office buildings suffering from vacancies and falling rents into other uses, such as urban apartments.
Conversion differs from general Renovation in that it requires advanced know-how in terms of legal and technical compliance. It is also essential to verify the business feasibility, marketability, and merchantability. The entire Mitsubishi Estate Group, which operates a wide range of real estate businesses, will back up the client's business.
06 Cost optimization and quality control
Renovation commercial work
Mitsubishi Estate is a general developer, and our many years of experience as its in-house design office have led to a track record of providing management services across the entire project from the client's perspective, which continues to contribute to a wide range of clients today.
As a partner to our clients, we aim to achieve effective and efficient Renovation by optimizing cost management, estimate surveys, quality control, and construction process adjustments to meet their needs, providing comprehensive supervision to ensure profits and high levels of satisfaction.
Upon request, we can also provide specialized services such as cost control, quotation surveys and quality control separately.
About the estimate survey
We investigate the contents of the estimates submitted by construction companies against the relevant documents (design drawings, etc.) and negotiate prices with the construction companies. Based on our technical judgment based on our experience of investigating estimates for over 1,000 renovation works per year, we perform detailed analysis to determine whether the submitted estimate is an appropriate market price.
Renovated properties
Our company has a track record of surveying renovated properties across the country, and is familiar with the current market prices for various construction projects. We can confirm the appropriate price from this extensive database. We can also conduct analysis based on the content of each individual project.
07 Environmental Consideration (CO2 Emission Reduction/ZEB)
Environmentally friendly and reduces management costs
With the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement as a backdrop, active efforts to be environmentally conscious are being made.
The destruction of the global environment cannot be said to be unrelated to the mass consumption of energy by buildings. Today, technological innovation has dramatically improved the efficiency of building facilities, but older equipment loses efficiency over time, consuming excess energy.
Why not take the opportunity to upgrade your equipment to save energy? We conduct current surveys, analyses, and studies to reduce the maintenance and management costs of building facilities, which have a major impact on our clients' building management, and we also conduct energy conservation diagnosis to verify the validity of the system.
Based on this, we are able to proactively present energy-saving proposals and various improvement plans.
Based on technical knowledge and achievements,
Supporting clients' efforts to reduce CO2 and achieve ZEB
CO2 Emissions Reduction Review
As an increasing number of companies set targets for reducing CO2 emissions, we use the technical knowledge we have cultivated to provide comprehensive support to our clients' efforts to reduce CO2 emissions.
ZEB proposal and application process
By converting a building to a ZEB, in addition to reducing CO2 emissions, you can enjoy other benefits, such as improving your company's brand image and improving your reputation with business partners. Based on our experience and track record as a comprehensive design office, we will support you in obtaining ZEB certification.
